The white tiger comes from a rare pigmentation variant of the Bengal tiger. There are also other genetic conditions which remove most of the tiger’s striping, producing an animal that’s almost pure white. Due to inbreeding, white tigers are prone to strabismus (crossed eyes). They are also suffer from photosensitivity (intolerance of light) like albinos.

Our pets become part of the family. “Keo-boy”, my siamese, was just a month shy of 20 yrs old. It was very difficult when I had to put him down. It was so hard that I even had him cremated. Myra surprised me with a picture of him, which sits in my bedroom til this day. “Babe” followed “Keo” & if you know a bit about Maine Coons you know they have long beautiful hair with striking patterns. She surprised me one Xmas with a portrait of the big boy. I can’t believe it is done with only pencil. She captured every detail perfectly. I have known Myra all her life, as I am her auntie. She has always had a knack for drawing. At 4, she even placed her artwork on my white leather chair! I have seen her develop into a fantastic artist. I will treasure my works of art forever.
